Highlight: Performance Class

With so many classes offered each day, there is never a dull moment at ISSI!

Let's take a moment to highlight one of those wonderful classes: Performance Class.

In this class, students work together to polish a few pieces (typically two) in preparation for a concert at the end of the week. Teachers use all kinds of fun games and ideas as they teach a high standard of technique and musicality through games and fun.

In this cello performance class in 2014, Elizabeth Means had the students sit in a circle facing outwards, so they couldn't easily see each other. This required them to listen more carefully to each other in order to stay together.

What are some of your favorite performance class moments? Leave a comment and share with us!

Stay tuned for future posts that will highlight other fun parts of a day at institute!
